EAST INDIAN DANCING

Guided by classically trained Indian Dancer, Sonia St-Michel, participants learn the art of East Indian dance. The workshop begins with a Yoga warm-up. Participants then learn to create and maintain rhythm using footwork (known as Taal or rhythm) and a system of oral representation of percussive sounds. Participants also explore some Hastas, which are hand gestures used to tell stories.
